'Imitation Game,' Sam Smith among GLAAD nominees

GLAAD released the full list of nominees for the 26th annual GLAAD Media Awards Wednesday morning, recognizing depictions of the LGBT community and issues surrounding it.

“It’s been a remarkable year for equality, and nowhere is that more evident than in the visibility LGBT people have gained across media. This year’s nominees, including expanded categories in Outstanding Comedy and Drama Series, reflect the widening diversity of LGBT images and storylines that are closing the gap to full acceptance,” said GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a press release.

There are more than 100 nominees, in categories ranging from “Outstanding Film – Wide Release” to “Outstanding Talk Show Episode.” The ceremonies will be hold in Los Angeles on March 21 and New York on May 9. See the full list of nominees below.
